A comprehensive dashboard for exploring NASA's various APIs, including APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day), Mars Rover photos, EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera), NEO (Near-Earth Objects), and Exoplanet data. This application provides an intuitive interface to discover the wonders of space! 🚀✨

• 🌌 APOD Explorer: Discover the astronomy picture of the day with detailed explanations
• 🔴 Mars Rover Photos: Browse photos taken by Curiosity, Opportunity, and Spirit rovers
• 🌎 EPIC Imagery: View stunning images of Earth taken from the DSCOVR satellite
• ☄️ NEO Tracker: Monitor near-Earth objects and their approach details
• 🪐 Exoplanet Database: Explore planets outside our solar system with detailed properties

Note: Visit the live site for the full interactive experience!

The application utilizes five key NASA APIs:

• APOD API: https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod
• Mars Rover Photos API: https://api.nasa.gov/mars-photos/api/v1/rovers
• EPIC API: https://api.nasa.gov/EPIC/api
• NEO API: https://api.nasa.gov/neo/rest/v1
• Exoplanet Archive API: https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/TAP/sync

Note: To use this application with full functionality, you'll need a NASA API key. You can obtain one for free at api.nasa.gov.

The easiest way to use the application is through the live site.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Dami-Val/explorador-apod-nasa.git

# Navigate to the project directory
cd explorador-apod-nasa

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Create a .env file with your NASA API key
# REACT_APP_NASA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Start the development server
npm start

After starting the server, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to use the application.

To use all features of this application, you'll need a NASA API key. Get yours for free at api.nasa.gov.

This application is built with a modular architecture to ensure scalability and maintainability:

• Component-Based Structure: Each NASA API has its own dedicated set of components
• Service Modules: API interactions are abstracted into service modules
• Responsive Design: Adapts to various screen sizes for optimal user experience
• Animated UI: Smooth transitions and visual feedback enhance user engagement
• Error Handling: Robust error management for API connections and data processing
